Peter Heals the Crippled Beggar – Acts 3:1-10

The Story in a nutshell

One Day Peter and John were headed to the Temple for the afternoon prayer service. As they neared the Temple they saw a lame man being placed by the Temple gate.  He was set there each day so he could beg for money from those entering the Temple.  As Peter and John prepared to enter the Temple he asked them for money.

Peter said to the man, “I don’t have any money, but I will give you what I have.  Then Peter said, “In the name of Jesus get up and walk!”  Peter took the hand of the lame man and helped him up, and as he did, the ankles and feet of the man were instantly healed.

The man jumped up and began to walk.  Then walking, leaping, and jumping, he praised God and went into the Temple with Peter and John.

When the people in Temple saw that it was the lame man, they were astonished!
